Best Pilates Instructor

Pam Monteros

Staff Pick

We were thinking of trying this Pilates stuff, but were afraid that it might make us look like Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2. (Actually, we prefer looking at Linda Hamilton in Terminator 1, but that's a different category.) We heard good things about Pilates (although at first we pronounced it Pie-L8s). We asked around and found Pam, who has a long list of adoring clients. Disgustingly fit herself, Pam does her best to draw you into that health stuff. Meanwhile, the Pilates workout makes you feel like a lean, mean fighting machine (a phrase first ironically uttered by John Candy in Stripes.)
